PLUS-size model Mia Tyler was once so depressed, she was seconds away from jumping off the balcony of a Hollywood Hills estate!

“I was going to kill myself . . . One thing I knew for sure: If I jumped, no one would find me at the bottom of the canyon,” the daughter of Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler and the late Cyrinda Foxe writes in her memoir, “Creating Myself,” out in October. “I sat down and let my legs dangle over the edge. I puffed on a joint . . . I wondered if it was going to hurt. If it did, it wouldn’t matter for more than an instant, right?” Tyler, 21 at the time, was saved by her cellphone, which rang with a message from MTV offering her a job as a “metal chick” VJ. She adds of the time when she was riddled with body- image issues and involved in drugs and self-mutila- tion before getting help: “I picked up guys at clubs and amused myself by using a glow-in-the-dark ink pen to make notches on my bedroom wall.
